Chrocheron Park, Bayside, NY August 1, 2012

Went to see a very large Cicada Killer colony in Chrocheron Park to find out what kind of Cicada these giant wasps were finding and flying back to their ground burrows. I also hoped to find some Cicada nymphs around dusk starting to  make their way up the tree trunks to emerge from their shells and transform into an adult Cicada during the night. 

Finally, checked Golden Pond to see what Dragonflies and Damselflies were flying and setting up territories there. Also found other inhabitants along the way in my search for Cicada nymphs.
